I simply had a damn bad day for reasons I won´t write here and that´s it.<br />I know that my comment on Chara wasn´t nice, hope we can all calm down again and enjoy this site. Thanks^^.<br /><br />To make things clear:<br />I do support women who produce good music and I don´t appreciate it at all if male artist are arrogant and snooty.<br />Also, being a fangirl of pretty boys is okay as long as they produce good music. <br />Chara might be an awesome musician, but to me, she came across as unsympathetic in the extreme, just by sitting there. It doesn´t have to do anything with gender.<br /><br />I hope that with these words, this issue is finished.Julihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11391364274054172801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8994365939017837190.post-62043466559254236372013-08-06T21:51:16.520+09:002013-08-06T21:51:16.520+09:00"Internalized misogyny" = women displayi..."Internalized misogyny" = women displaying misogynistic attitudes, due to having absorbed them from being surrounded by patriarchal culture for too long.<br /><br />I wasn't going to join in this thread anymore, but to stave off an argument: since Chara basically didn't do or say anything at all in the entire interview, calling her an "arrogant bimbo" is baseless and unwarranted, unless you've seen her do/say something demonstrably arrogant somewhere else.<br /><br />"Bimbo" (meaning a shallow, vapid woman valuable mainly for her sex appeal) is a sexist word, because it's often applied to women who are pretty to look at, in order to discount their intelligence. "Arrogant," on the other hand, is not an inherently sexist term, but it is often used with sexist intentions to describe women who display give-no-shits confidence.<br /><br />The problem here is a double standard. Good-looking men aren't assumed to be stupid just because they're handsome, but beautiful women get called bimbos. Men with give-no-shits confidence are looked up to and admired, while women with similar qualities get described as arrogant bitches.<br /><br />This is especially true in the music industry. If you, as a woman, wish it weren't true, then you shouldn't contribute to the problem by using gendered insults. If you want to criticize Chara, criticize the substance of something she's actually said or done, as you would if you were criticizing a male artist.<br /><br />More generally, I have also noticed that a certain subset of female visual kei fans tend to be very dismissive of the work of female artists (I like to call it the "I hate female vocalists" syndrome). It guess it just goes to show that they're more interested in being fangirls of pretty boys than they are in intelligently listening to good music, but even so, I think it's a shame. It seems to me that women who appreciate music should try to support women who make music.
